Swiss Flag - Official National Symbol of Switzerland #1990672 (License: Personal Use)

The Swiss flag consists of a white, equilateral cross in the center of a red square field-unique among national flags for its square shape. Adopted officially in 1889, it embodies Swiss values of neutrality, humanitarianism, and unity. The design traces back to medieval battle banners used by Swiss confederates in the 14th century.
